RE: Subscription iTunes? It can't come soon enough
The reason why Apple hasn't gone the subscription route is because Apple knows the limitations of any DRM - it will be broken. Once its broken, I could potentially download, break, and own the music. No renewal needed in a year.

I like subscription music services because I consume thousands more tracks than I ever want to buy (I get click happy and because I can, I pretty much download every new rock album that my subscription service gets). In fact, I probably only want to own a handful of albums a year. Seriously, in ten years I'll probably want to purge many of those albums I actually bought. I've no problem renting my music - I rent movies and video games, and get many of my books from a library.
